Welcome to Reno ~ The Black Feathers!
The Black Feathers, Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler, a Gloucestershire-based duo is a married couple who decided to form a band while on their honeymoon! Before the bouquet could even think about fading, Ray and Sian began writing songs and playing gigs. Both natural born artists, they quickly amassed a following appreciative of their elegant, effortless harmonies and their country folk sound.
In 2014 they released their debut EP ‘Strangers We Meet’, garnering airplay from BBC Radio 2 and national press attention. Shortly after they then released their debut full-length album ‘Soaked To The Bone’. Their smooth, timeless vocals, rich Americana arrangements pinned by acoustic guitar, folky undertones, jovial rhythms and heart-aching ballads are leading them to spread their wings across the US. And we love them!
Not only have they performed at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Kate Wolf Music Festival and AmericanaFest, Ray and Sian have been awarded several official showcases at the International, North East Regional and Far-West Folk Alliance conferences.
Do check out their website where you’ll see Americana, Folk and Acoustic Indie Rock sensibilities coexist comfortably in their musical world. Ray’s guitar buoys the kind of harmonies often only heard in family bands and Sians voice is like a warming campfire you know has the strength to explode.
Come, not just to enjoy, but experience.
